Film - The Cimarron Sky-Dog Dream--for the Wild Horses

OCTOBER 17, 1-3 pm at Saturdays at the Johnsons showing Jackie Fleming's LATEST revision of her film of the horses at the preserve  in Wattrous: "The Cimarron Sky-Dog Dream--for the Wild Horses"

    

IT'S ABOUT JACKIE, ABOUT HORSES, ABOUT FREEDOM

The film is in turns breathtakingly beautiful, informative, inspiring, and laugh-out-loud funny. It is a sure joy for film lovers and horse lovers…Terry Ryder

    

Anyone who has lived in the Madrid area for a while knows about Jackie Fleming's adoption of abandoned & aging horses.  All this evolved into her development of a non-for-profit sanctuary for New Mexico wild mustangs: CIMARRON SKY DOG RESERVE.

    

If you missed previous showings of the film, plan to come see Jackie's new version.,

Every showing is a benefit for her PRESERVE and the care of the horses.  You can even adopt—for the care of a horse!  Donations are welcoomed.  Jackie's  two books and many postcard photos of the horses will be available for purchase after the movie.
